Subject: [PATCH 5/5] selftests/resctrl: Reduce failures due to outliers in MBA/MBM tests
Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2023 14:19:30 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230911111930.16088-6-ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230911111930.16088-1-ilpo.jarvinen@linux.intel.com>
5% difference upper bound for success is a bit on the low side for the
MBA and MBM tests. Some platforms produce outliers that are slightly
above that, typically 6-7%.
Relaxing the MBA/MBM success bound to 8% removes most of the failures
due those frequent outliers.
Fixes: 06bd03a57f8c ("selftests/resctrl: Fix MBA/MBM results reporting format")
